HARRsBURG, PA, Aug. 17.-William b.
Hart was nominated by acclamation for
State Treasurer by the Republican State
convention to-day.
Judge Henry w. Williams was nominated
for Supreme Court Judge.
The platform reaffirms the party's decla-
ration of 1886 IN favor of submitting to a
vote of the people a prohibitory constitu-
tional amendment. it also indorses the
action of the last Legislature in the sub
mission of an amendment making suffrage
free and abolishing the tax qualification
for voters. 1t favors a tariff for the sake of
nufturing American manufactures until the
industries and resources of this country
furnish its people with every item of con-
sumption they can naturally produce and
for the purpose of protecting home labor
against foreign labor, as well as the pro-
ducts.
IMPORTED CONTRACT LABOR.
1t is likewise part of the protective policy,
of which Pennsylvania has been the parent,
to protect American workmen from the un-
equal and unjust competition of imported
contract and pauper labor. and demands the
passage of moro vigorous national laws for
the scrutiny of immigrants and the return
of the unfit and unworthy. "In this connec-
ton we declare our adherence of anar-
chistic ideas and propositions, destructive of
the rights of property and our system q So
ciety and government. Their resultant
violations of the law should be vested with
prompt and extreme penalties
1t favors the creation of an American ma
rine by a provision of bounties upon ex-
ports, and discriminating duties upon inn
ports, in American bottoms. 1t favors a
general pension bill to include all honorably
discharged Union soldiers.
THE ADMINISTRATION ARRAIGNED.
Section z is as follows 1--WE arraign the
Democratic party and the present national
administration for general imbecility in
dealing with all great national questions.
The only energy they have exhibited has
been in the displacement of experienced
officers without cause, and indirect viola
ton of their civil service pledges. The
national administration seems TO have
no policy beyond expediency, and no prin-
ciple beyond the establishment Of its sue
cess in order to preserve the solid Demo-
deavored to nurture sectionalism by prefer
ence to distinguished station of
soldiets prominent in the effort to
destroy the government, by his refusal
to sanction pensions to soldiers eminent in
efforts to sustain it and by his proposition
to take from among the national trophies
the banners Of an extinct military power,
won by lavish expenditure of the blood
and treasure of the country, TO surrender
them 10 those whom he supposed to inherit
its prejudices and who were without either
desire or authority to receive them"
Other resolutions were adopted, as fol-
lows:
The Republicans OF Pennsylvania, the native
State Of Hon. James g. Blaine will view with
high pleasure his nofsfiuation for the Presidency
ln the campaign OF 1885 Accident cannot abate
the love OF a great party nor the admiration of
great people for statesman true alike to his
convictions and his country.
Resolved, That while we gladly recognize
some change for the better in the sentiment Of
certain portions of the Southern States In refer
ence to colored citizens, 1t would be contrary to
Republican principles not to express our de-
testation of, and our opposition TO, discriminar
tion still practiced because of color against
citizens when travelling on the public highways
estly appeal Ito our sister States, where such
wrong exists, and TO the national government,
TO remedy this injustice
Resolved, That the Republican party OF Penn
sylyanla. in convention assembled, extend to
Hon William T. Gladstone, Hon Charles Stew
art Parnell, and their associates, its profound
sympathy and hearty concurrence In their
great and earnest efforts to TO the people
Of Ireland Independence and liberty OF action
for themselves in political Affairs, and their
them a cheerful God speed 10 their work for hu
maDity.
